DEFINING BEAUTY: MS. WHEELCHAIR AMERICA is an inspiring feature length documentary narrated by Katey Sagal, which follows the vibrant lives of five women on their journey to the 2010 Ms. Wheelchair America pageant. For 37 years, Ms. Wheelchair America has showcased the astounding accomplishments of hundreds of women, yet it has gone largely unnoticed by the general public—until now. Life in a wheelchair has often been defined as one of limitation, loneliness and unfulfilled dreams; however, the women showcased in this film demonstrate that their chairs do not confine nor define them. These remarkable contestants and the reigning Ms. Wheelchair America give us a unique glimpse into their lives as we follow them to Nationals in South Dakota as they compete for the crown. As in a traditional beauty pageant, Ms. Wheelchair America strives to show the inherent beauty in women while also competing on the pillars of ‘advocacy, achievement, communication and presentation to select the most accomplished, articulate spokesperson for individuals with disabilities.’ These women (who are mothers, students, athletes, and social activists) challenge themselves daily to live life beyond their limitations and in turn demonstrate to the world that true beauty is encompassed in a desire to succeed, a dedication to serve others, and the will to live life on your own terms.
